Areas affected...western into central and northern Kansas

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

Valid 300454Z - 300700Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

SUMMARY...The severe threat may be increasing across central KS in
association with intensifying thunderstorms. Severe wind/hail would
be the main concerns. Convective trends are being monitored for the
need of a Severe Thunderstorm Watch.

DISCUSSION...A relatively weak, disorganized MCS is progressing
across KS, with a small, embedded MCV noted in Ness County. Ahead of
the MCS is a strengthening low-level jet, with 20+ kts of southerly
flow supporting warm-air/moisture advection to an 850 mb jet
terminus/boundary located along the KS/NE border. Given the presence
of widespread 8+ C/km mid-level lapse rates (and corresponding 2000
J/kg MUCAPE), along with 30 kts of 0-3 km shear (per 04Z
mesonanalysis), some potential exists for convective elements within
the MCS to intensify, with cellular modes supporting severe hail. If
stronger storm cores can aggregate and support a developing cold
pool, severe winds will also be possible. However, given the
conditional nature of convective upscale growth, convective trends
will continue to be monitored before a Severe Thunderstorm Watch is
proposed.
